Beach

On the Boardwalk

August 10, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I don’t wear much green, especially neon, but I couldn’t resist this cutout brocade dress. It feels very much like a ’50s two piece outfit with the cutout but it has the ease of being one dress. Dress: TJ Maxx (alternative here), Shoes: Payless (similar here), Flower Crown: Purchased in Nijmegan, Bracelets: Forever21 and hand-me-down…Read More

The Long, Hot Summer

June 6, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Summer is finally here, and as much as I love wearing pretty dresses and trendy pieces, it’s nice to be able to relax my look a little. I wore this outfit on a sunbathing trip to the lake. I like the simplicity of pairing a denim shirt with shorts and a sunhat for a day…Read More
